SIBI-P1 H8117-01

the Watch-descendant

Morphological NotesDefinite article הַ + masculine singular gentilic noun (Ngmsa). The -ִי ending marks a patronymic/gentilic form meaning "descendant of" or "member of" Shimron.
Rendering RationaleThe term is a masculine singular gentilic with the definite article, referring to an individual man belonging to the clan descended from Shimron. By rendering it "the Watch-descendant," the translation preserves the connection to the root שמר (to guard/watch), which underlies the name Shimron, while accurately reflecting the singular masculine form.
